opportunities in the QA QC certification services market into the

Optimization of procurement practices

Bundling of services

Adoption of technology saving aspects

EMATs are used in the ultrasonic testing technique. These transducers
can be used for characterization of properties of materials, detecting
flaws in the materials, and measuring the thickness of various materials.

Big Data and analytics play a significant role in helping auditors sort
and analyze large volume of data to help suppliers identify risks in
business operations and financial reporting, helping them deliver more
relevant QC audit reports.

Optimization of procurement practices saving aspects

Buyers should engage with suppliers that have accreditation from
different standards bodies such as ISO and ANSI. This will help buyers
to advertise themselves in the market and attract more clientele, as
these standards bodies have a good reputation in the market.

Buyers should engage with an integrated service provider that have
capabilities to inspect, test, as well as certify products/services for
safety and regulatory compliance. Before engaging in this practice,
companies need to evaluate all the pros and cons of the service
provider, since some service providers may not have expertise in all the
services they deliver.

Bundling of services saving aspects

Buyers expect suppliers to possess capabilities such as inspect, test,
and certify products/services as this can help in reducing the cost.
Buyers expect their certification firms to grant access to their audit
process to in-house QC teams as this can help the in-house team to
understand mistakes in their processes if any.
